PILOT FLAME PATTERN
To ensure quick ignition and efficient ODS function, your heater is uniquely equipped with a supplemental
pilot burner as shown in Fig. 11. The normal ODS pilot flame should have a correct pattern as shown in
Fig. 12 in normal operation with exception during ignition stage.
WARNING: If yellow tipping occurs, your heater could produce increased levels of carbon monoxide.
If burner flame pattern shows yellow tipping, follow instructions at bottom of this page.
Notice: Do not confuse orange flames with yellow tipping. Dirt or other fine particles enter the heater and
burn causing brief patches of orange flame.
